The Spiegel Burn Foundation provides support and services to help transform burn victims into courageous, empowered Survivors. As a private nonprofit foundation, we provide grants and support for research to help people move past trauma and continue their lives as valued individuals.
Most people don’t realize that scars of a serious burn injury never go away. The physical, emotional and economic damage can, and often do, last a lifetime.
Sally Spiegel learned this first-hand living with 3rd degree burns over 60% of her body. But her first experience at the World Burn Congress* in 2001 made her realize that, although she could not control what had happened to her, she could control her attitude about it. Sally’s personal journey of courage transformed her from a Victim into a Survivor.
Our Mission
Sally and her family knew they should share that same life-changing experience with other burn victims. So they formed the Spiegel Burn Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, non-salaried organization.
This site offers information, links and resources for burn survivors and for burn victim care-givers & massage therapists.
* World Burn Congress is an annual program of the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors
